j. II. Gray, of Gray Brothers, artc-
sian we'll horer.. was here last Monday
looking up the prospects for III arte-
sian we'll ut this place. The firm is
engaged in sinking well ut the
Jamestown asylum. No definite "
ranmrmrnts were reached. but the
,pn,jmcut seems to be almost univcr.
sal i'm favor of Il we'll. Several means
have been suggested. one of which
will probably he acted upon. to organ
il" the town and bond, organize j
stock company OF raise the money hy
subscription. I'm arltsian we'll would
be Il great advantage to the town and
who knows but that in penetrating
the bowels of the earth for water VT
strike natural gas. OF oil.
The scarcity of water at this point
has been Il serious question to the
railroad company for the past frw
weeks. the supply having been taken
from Heart river. Last week Super
intcnarnt Greene decided to sink 4
we'll lrar and south OF the round
house and IL large force of men were
put to work sinking IL hole twenty
feet in diameter. They had proceeded
with the work to a depth of about
twenty feet when Il large supply OF
water was struck. estimated at sever.
al thousand gallons per hour. a large
steam sypllon is required constantly
at work to keep the water down st
that the mel can work. The water
buils up from the bottom of the vel
in three different places and the lucky
strike is attracting Il great deal VI at
tention on account OF the immense
volume of water it affords. The wei
will be put down twenty feet deepeI
and if it continues to flow rs it ha'
the past few days Will supply more
water than is required for railroa'
purposes.
Since writing the above the volum,
of water has increased so that All ad
ditional ssphon is necessary to keel
it down. superintendent Greene say
it is by far the best supply of waite
on the division.

to buy their shoddy goods, dear !;

with home merchants Of known ir
tcgrit. and honesty. A little though
